16.5.7 SSP Data Register (SSDR)
SSDR, shown in Table 16-9, is a single address location that read and write data transfers access.
SSDR represents two physical registers: the first is temporary storage for data on its way out
through the transmit FIFO. The other register is temporary storage for data coming in through the
receive FIFO.
5 TFS
TRANSMIT FIFO SERVICE REQUEST:
Indicates that the transmit FIFO requires service to prevent an underrun. TFS is set when the
number of valid entries in the transmit FIFO is equal to or lesser than the transmit FIFO trigger
threshold. It is cleared when it has fewer entries than the trigger threshold value. When TFS is
set, an Interrupt is generated when SSCR1[TIE] is set. Setting TFS signals a DMA service
request if SSCR1[TSRE] is set. After the CPU or DMA fills the FIFO such that it has at least as
many entries as the value of SSCR1[TFT], TFS (and the service request or interrupt) is
automatically cleared. SSCR1[TSRE] and SSCR1[TIE] must not both be set.
0 – Transmit FIFO level exceeds TFT trigger threshold or the SSP is disabled
1 – Transmit FIFO level is at or below TFT trigger threshold, request Interrupt
4 BSY
SSP BUSY:
Indicates that the port is actively transmitting or receiving data and is cleared when the port is
idle or disabled. This bit does not generate an Interrupt. Software must wait for the Tx Fifo to
empty first and then wait for the BSY bit to be cleared at the end of a data transfer.
0 – SSP is idle or disabled
1 – SSP currently transmitting or receiving a frame
3 RNE
RECEIVE FIFO NOT EMPTY:
Indicates that the receive FIFO contains one or more entries of valid data. It is cleared when it no
longer contains any valid data. This bit does not generate an Interrupt.
When using programmed I/O, this bit can be polled to remove remaining bytes of data from the
receive FIFO since CPU Interrupt requests are made only when the receive FIFO trigger
threshold has been met or exceeded.
0 – Receive FIFO is empty.
1 – Receive FIFO is not empty.
2TNF
TRANSMIT FIFO NOT FULL:
Indicates that the transmit FIFO contains one or more entries that do not contain valid data. TNF
is cleared when the FIFO is completely full. This bit does not generate an Interrupt.
When using programmed I/O, this bit can be polled to fill the transmit FIFO over its trigger
threshold.
0 – Transmit FIFO is full
1 – Transmit FIFO is not full
